There's a Drupal workshop on at RVCE, Bangalore. This is primarily intended at VTU faculty, but I've been told that this is open to all:

Department of Computer Science and Engineering , Information Science and
Engineering and Master of Computer Applications of R.V.College of
Engineering are jointly organizing a 5 day workshop on developing websites

There seems to be some activity gathering around the Bangalore PHP User Group initiative, with some (hopefully) useful meetups scheduled in the months to come. The first of these is the one upcoming in Aug, where we plan to discuss ways to get an informal but more active group up and running.

KDE is great to flaunt (esp to your friends on shiny Winedwhores 7 junk), but too bulky for my liking. Htop reported that I was using approximately 350MB of memory consistently (no Nepomuk *)) and this sounded ridiculous enough to warrant a full-scale switch to Ratpoison.
